HYGETM
Crash
System
Features & Benefits
The HYGETM
offers a number of distinct advantages to optimize crash test
programs and provide a competitive edge for in-house and independent
testing facilities.
Proven Accuracy:
capable of simulating actual crash pulses to within ±2%
Repeatability:
The HYGETM design provides
extremely repeatable and reproducible acceleration pulses, enabling
accurate simulation and modeling of crash conditions in nondestructive
fashion. A given pulse can be accurately produced on any HYGETM
system, enabling component suppliers and OEM manufacturers to
share testing programs and data interchangeably. HYGETM
system has proven its repeatability over time. Systems over
40 years old routinely demonstrate repeatability of better than
+/-2%.

Data from three separate tests ( Green,
Blue and Red)
overlayed. Showing the repeatability of HYGETM
system even after an excess of 25,000 test firings of system.
Reproducibility:
Pulses can be very accurately reproduced on different
HYGETM systems,
enabling sharing of test programs and results between component
suppliers and OEMs.
Versatility:
The HYGETM
has the structural integrity and thrust capability to perform
side impact tests which are not possible with "light rail"
type systems. Lightweight sled allows testing of light trucks
and sport utility vehicles.
